With a cool, spring-like climate throughout the year, lush forests and a relaxing small-town atmosphere, 'El Valle' has plenty of appeal. Most striking of all are the panoramic mountain views which surround the town, which sits inside the one of the world's largest inhabited volcanic craters. Visitors can take advantage of some excellent hiking routes, cycling and adventure sports, as well as watching the area's abundant birdlife and sampling some of the great local restaurants.
